Treasure Hunt all over the World

Latest website: Chapter 3237 Uninvited Guests in the Night

Night fell, and darkness enveloped the entire Atlantic Ocean.

The two superyachts of the Joint Exploration Fleet were filled with laughter and moving music flowing everywhere.

Almost everyone on the two superyachts, including the media reporters, were having a carnival, and everyone was having a great time.

But this does not include Ye Tian, ​​Professor Paul and others, who are not on the two super yachts.

At this time, they were sitting in the cabin of the Brave and Dauntless, appraising the gold and silver treasures and antique artifacts from the treasures of the ancient Roman Senate in the ruins of Rabat Shela.

Of course, when they are at sea, they can only conduct identification and evaluation through the high-definition videos and pictures taken by Nick and others, and they are temporarily unable to get their hands on the real thing.

However, with their strength and eyesight, especially Ye Tian's ability, the lack of access to real objects will not affect the accuracy of the appraisal.

After a full day of excavation and cleaning, the ancient Roman treasure has been cleaned and transported to the underground vault of the National Bank of Morocco for preservation.

Even the larger and heavier ancient Roman sculptures were transported to the National Museum of Morocco for preservation.

The reason why we chose to store them in these two places was naturally for safety reasons.

After Ye Tian left Rabat with a large group of troops, the security force left in Rabat was much weaker. It was not enough to protect such an amazing treasure, and there was no need to take this risk.

Handing over the gold, silver, treasures and antique artifacts in this ancient Roman treasure to the Moroccans for safekeeping is not only safer, but also promotes trust between the two parties.

What's more important is that Ye Tian is not worried at all about the Moroccan trying to kill him.

Before finding the legendary Atlantis, the Moroccans would not dare to play any tricks.

By the time he found Atlantis, Ye Tian had already transported away all the gold, silver, treasures and antique artifacts that he had discovered previously.

Even if it wasn't shipped away, he didn't believe the Moroccans would dare to do that.

If they dared to do so, he would immediately retaliate until the Moroccans themselves returned the stolen or withheld treasures.

When excavating and clearing the ancient Roman treasures in the ruins of Shela, Nick and the others took pictures of every gold and silver treasure and antique artifact they found, including high-definition videos and pictures.

Not only that, they also photographed the details of each gold and silver treasure and antique cultural relics for Ye Tian and the others to conduct video appraisals.

At this time, Ye Tian and Professor Paul were appraising an ancient Roman cultural relic.

The basis for their identification was the high-definition videos and pictures taken by Nick and others.

Also present were Yahya and two Moroccan antique art appraisal experts.

On the big screen TV in front of everyone, there are also several appraisal experts from the Moroccan Ministry of Culture and the National Museum.

"Stephen, look here, there is an ancient Greek letter C, which combines the noble shape of this Roman dagger and the time when the Roman Empire conquered Mauritania.

Could this be the sword of Roman Emperor Claudius? We know that it was during his reign that the Roman Empire conquered Morocco."

Professor Kane pointed to a Roman dagger on the high-definition picture and said.

There is indeed an ancient Greek letter 'C' engraved on the spine of the rusty Roman dagger.

Hearing this, everyone at the scene shone with excitement.

Everyone knows very well what a Roman emperor's sword means. It is definitely a top antique cultural relic.

Ye Tian did not respond immediately, but pretended to look at the Roman dagger carefully.

Then, he fell into thinking again.

After thinking for a moment, he smiled and shook his head and said:

"Judging from the shape of the sword and the engraved patterns, this Roman dagger is of high grade, close to the sword of an emperor, but it is not up to the standard of an emperor's sword and is slightly inferior.

From this, it is certain that it should not be Claudius's sword. In fact, Claudius was unable to travel far because he suffered from polio and basically stayed in Rome.

However, I speculate that it may be a sword given by Claudius to an ancient Roman general, presumably to reward the Roman general for conquering or ruling Mauritania.

During the period when Claudius ruled Rome, the Roman Empire conquered Mauritania. The governor of Mauritania and the governor of Spain at the time were both close associates of Claudius.

It is entirely possible for him to make some high-end daggers, engrav them with his own logo, and then give them to many of his confidants as a reward. Such things have been discovered before.

After the death of Claudius, his adopted son Nero came to power and became the Roman Emperor. Soon after Nero came to power, he began to eliminate dissidents. The then governor of Mauritania was his enemy.

There was also the Spanish governor Galba at the time. In the end, Nero killed the governor of Mauritania. In the end, he was declared a public enemy of the country by the Senate because of his perverse behavior.

The person who replaced him as the Roman Emperor was the Spanish Governor Galba. Analyzing this period of history, I am more inclined to believe that this is the sword of the Governor of Mauritania."

After hearing his analysis, everyone nodded slightly.

Although no one raised any objections, they were still a little confused.

At this moment, Yahya suddenly asked curiously:

"Stephen, if your statement is correct, this is the sword of the Roman Governor of Mauritania, then how much is it worth?"

Ye Tian looked at this old friend, then smiled and said:

“If this is really the sword of the Governor of Mauritania in the Roman Empire, and it is so completely preserved, it can be regarded as a top-notch antique cultural relic, worth a lot of money.

If I have to give an estimate, I think the value of this Roman dagger should be around two million US dollars. Of course, this is just my personal appraisal opinion."

Following his words, no one had any doubts about the value of this Roman dagger.

Naturally, no one questioned the valuation he gave.

After carefully studying and appreciating this Roman dagger for a while, everyone just finished identifying and evaluating it.

After recording the appraisal conclusion and valuation given by Ye Tian, ​​everyone began to appraise the next ancient Roman antique artifact.

In the blink of an eye, the time has reached around eleven o'clock in the evening.

Most of the gold and silver treasures and antique artifacts from the ancient Roman treasures in the Rabat Shela ruins have been appraised and appraised, and Ye Tian gave a rough valuation.

Seeing that it was late and everyone was a little tired, Ye Tian ended tonight's unique appreciation and evaluation video conference.

The remaining small portion of gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics can only be evaluated tomorrow night. Anyway, there is plenty of time.

As for those ancient Roman sculptures, Ye Tian just admired them and did not give a clear appraisal conclusion or valuation.

He told others that he could only give accurate identification conclusions and valuations after personally appreciating and experiencing it.

Of course, this was just an excuse on his part, just to make everything seem reasonable.

At the end of the video conference, the Moroccan Minister of Culture who was far away in Rabat suddenly asked:

"Stephen, how do you plan to distribute this ancient Roman treasure? Do you have any specific plans? We would like to hear it."

Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle.

This was something he had expected, and the Moroccans would raise this issue sooner or later.

He pretended to think for a while, then smiled and said:

"Mr. Minister, I have two distribution plans here. I can tell you about them. You can also think about it and decide which distribution plan to accept, or we can discuss it further.

The first distribution plan is to distribute it equally based on the valuation of all the gold and silver treasures, antique cultural relics and works of art in this ancient Roman treasure. Each of us will get half, which is very fair.

In the second distribution plan, I only want those ancient Roman sculptures, and the rest of the gold and silver treasures, antique cultural relics and works of art will all belong to your Moroccan government. Those things are easier to liquidate.

If you calculate the valuation and adopt the second distribution plan, I will be the loser. The gold, silver, treasures and antiques you get are of higher value, so this plan is more beneficial.

If you intend to sell the antique cultural relics and works of art assigned to you, such as the sword of the Governor of Mauritania, etc., I can also fund the purchase of some of them.

At present, all I can think of are these two distribution plans. No matter which one you choose, your Moroccan government will not suffer. In this regard, this choice should not be difficult to make."

Upon hearing his words, the eyes of the Moroccan Minister of Culture immediately flashed with emotion and excitement.

Through his performance, Ye Tian instantly concluded that,

Moroccans prefer the second distribution option. They prefer gold and silver treasures, antique relics and works of art that are easy to cash, rather than ancient Roman sculptures.

And this is exactly what Ye Tian wants to see.

After thinking for a moment, the Moroccan Minister of Culture said:

"Mr. Steven, we have understood the two distribution plans you proposed. They sound very reasonable and fully take into account the interests of both of us.

But we can’t give you the final answer now as to what specific choice to make. We will decide how to distribute this treasure after we have discussed it.”

"Okay, Mr. Minister, I'm waiting for your good news."

Ye Tian smiled and nodded.

Next, everyone chatted for a few more words, then said good night to each other, ending the video conference call.

After the meeting, Ye Tian chatted a few more words with Professor Paul and the others, and then asked the security personnel to drive them back to the super yacht in a speedboat.

He himself stayed on the Brave and Dauntless and did not leave immediately.

After everyone else left, Ye Tian called Jason and Mattis together, and then said to them:

"Guys, tomorrow is the most important day of this exploration operation. Everyone must cheer up and be vigilant to ensure that tomorrow's exploration operation can be completed smoothly."

"Steven, why do you say that? Have you already discovered the location of most of the pirate treasures?"

Jason asked in surprise, David and Mathis were very curious.

"You can also say that!"

Ye Tian nodded slightly and did not deny it.

Next, he began to explain the reason.

"On the pirate treasure map left by Black Baron Roberts, it is recorded very clearly that the Black Baron hid all the pirate treasures on the west side of the undersea mountain.

When I came here to explore last year, I explored all four sides of this underwater mountain. It turned out that the cliff on the west side of the mountain was newly formed and only lasted a few hundred years.

To be more precise, that cliff was formed due to the Lisbon earthquake, and the Black Baronet's pirate treasure was originally hidden on the west side of the mountain, but the mountain collapsed!

According to my guess, most of the Black Baron pirate treasures are under the cliff on the west side of the mountain. The last time I came here to explore, I also discovered something, but I didn’t salvage it.”

Upon hearing this, David and the others' eyes suddenly shone with excitement.

"Wow! It seems that we will find the real Black Baron pirate treasure tomorrow. It's really exciting!"

"I understand, the reason you let everyone explore the other three sides of this undersea mountain is just to spread suspicion and confuse others!"

Following Jason's words, everyone laughed.

When the laughter subsided, Ye Tian continued:

“Until we have truly found most of the Black Baron’s treasures, everyone must remain vigilant, and no one can approach the west side of this undersea mountain under cover of darkness.

Today we have discovered a lot of valuable gold and silver treasures and antique artifacts deep under the sea, which may inspire some people to take risks and explore pirate treasures in the dark.”

"Don't worry, Steven, no matter on the sea or below the sea, we will be on guard and we will never give those guys any chance."

Matisse nodded confidently.

Next, Ye Tian gave Matisse and the others a few more words before leaving the Brave and Intrepid with David on a speedboat.

Things were just as he expected.

During the day, those valuable gold and silver treasures and antique artifacts surfaced from the sea, which really made some guys' eyes turn red.

Driven by the greed of getting rich overnight, some guys took great risks and tried to sneak into the operating area of ​​the joint exploration fleet under the cover of night.

Unfortunately, everything they did was in vain.

Several of them, not only did not see any trace of the pirate treasure, but they almost lost their lives.

Whether they came from the sea in a small boat or from the bottom of the sea, they could not escape the dragnet set by the security personnel of the joint exploration fleet.

As soon as they approached the warning area, the strong searchlights mounted on several luxury yachts and Moroccan coast guard ships would shine over them, shrouding them in a beam of light that looked like daylight, leaving them unable to hide.

Those who try to dive will be targeted by speedboats on the sea.

Next, the searchlight on the speedboat will shine on the bottom of the sea. Those light beams are like radar, which can instantly locate their location, leaving them with nowhere to hide.

If they persist, it's time for small underwater robots to make their debut.

Although those underwater robots are small, they are very flexible, and each small underwater robot is equipped with a spear gun, and its lethality cannot be underestimated.

Faced with such siege and interception, those who tried to sneak into the guarded area could only fail and return to their respective ships in disgrace.

In one night, Matisse and the others found and drove away six groups of uninvited guests.

Fortunately, there was no real conflict that disturbed everyone's rest.

Soon, the night passed.
